Man, what is it about PC gamers that lets them tolerate mediocre garbage?

is it conditioning? Being raised playing games that are good 'in theory' over games that are good in actuality?

I dunno, it feels like a lot of PC gamers are 'proud' to play esoteric crap. They view it as a badge of honor, for some reason.

Glad I started recognizing these things for what they are, though. Nobody else seems to be willing to discuss it on the internet, but there are plenty of people in real life who get it immediately.

What's the problem? Unhappy that people like different things to you?

Not really.

Do you think all criticism comes from a place of anger? Lol.

Or are you upset because I criticized your low standards?

Ah yes, the old "I am not mad - you are mad!"

He's the one throwing a tantrum and calling me names because I don't like what he likes.

I'm guessing you're taking his side because you also have low standards. I see it all the time and don't expect more at this point.

I dunno man, you seem pretty angry that this game exists. What's so bad about it?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nah. You just want to paint me as mad because you can't tolerate criticism.

Gonna block ya now.
